Dr. Gergő Gyalog - MATE Research
Overview
Dr. Gergő Gyalog is an aquaculture economist whose primary interest is using quantitative approaches in analysing socio-economic and environmental problems in the aquaculture sector. He has been engaged in economic modelling to investigate profitability of aquaculture operations, economies of scale in the industry, and rentability of novel feeding technologies. His fields of interest also encompass the use of simulation models to forecast impacts of climate change on pond ecosystems and analyse environmental services of pond farming. His current main interest is indicator-based assessment of cultural and habitat ecosystem services in pond aquaculture utilizing GIS data.

Projects
CLIMEFISH - Co-creating a decision support framework to ensure sustainable fish production in Europe under climate change
To project aimed to investigate the effects of climate change on the European fisheries and aquaculture sector. Novel forecasting models were developed to simulate and analyse changes in production. Hungarian pond aquaculture was one of the case studies in project. In co-creation with stakeholders a Decision Support Software was developed for Hungarian farmers.
EATFISH - European Aquaculture Training for improving Seafood Husbandry”
EATFISH is a Marie Skłodowska–Curie Innovative Training Network project with a multidisciplinary research approach aimed at integrating the biological, technical, socio-economic and governance aspects needed for sustainable and profitable aquaculture.
ACTFAST - Actions for Climate Transition by developing Future Aquaculture Strategies and Technologies
ActFast aims to identify, validate, and demonstrate climate change adaptation and mitigation solutions tailored for European aquaculture, alongside opportunities to increase sustainable production. Central-Eastern European inland waters Region is one the four target areas of the project.
AQUASERV - Research Infrastructure servicesfor sustainable aquaculture, fisheriesand the blue economy
AQUASERV is a pioneering multinational initiative that unites six leading research infrastructures and over 40 scientific institutions across Europe. It aims to establish a multidisciplinary network dedicated to advancing sustainable aquaculture, fisheries, ecological restoration and the blue economy through cutting-edge research services.
AQUASPACE- Ecosystem Approach to making Space for Aquaculture
Aquaspace was a research project aiming to understand spatial and socio-economic constraints on the expansion of aquaculture, and to test tools to help overcome these constraints. It had 17 Case Studies; one Case Study was of the farming of freshwater fish in Hungary, the others dealt with the marine farming of fin-fish and shell-fish.
